BODY:
Whereas, In Common Council File No. 49-2311-8d, adopted on September 16, 1968, the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Milwaukee ("Authority") was designated the Agent of the City of Milwaukee ("City") for the purpose of administering, undertaking, and carrying out all blight elimination, slum clearance, and urban renewal programs and projects both present and future; and
Whereas, Applicable Wisconsin law, particularly Section 66.431(5)(c), Wisconsin Statutes, as amended, enables the Authority of a first class city, with the approval of the local legislative body of that city, to acquire blighted property without designating a boundary or adopting a redevelopment plan; and

Further Resolved, That it is found, determined, and reaffirmed that:

2. The objectives of the Authority cannot be achieved solely through rehabilitation of this Project.
3. This Project is feasible and conforms to the general plan of the City; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the subject property is declared surplus to municipal needs and that the proper City officials are authorized and directed to execute a quit claim deed and any other related document(s) deemed necessary to effectuate the transfer of title from the City to the Authority without monetary consideration; and, be it
Further Resolved, That to implement and facilitate the prosecution of this Project, certain official action to support the new land uses after redevelopment may be taken with general references, among other things, to changes in zoning; the vacation and removal of streets, alleys, and other public ways; the location and relocation of sewer and water mains and other public facilities; and other public actions deemed necessary to effectuate the purpose of this Project including the prohibition of any new construction in the Project area, and accordingly, the Council:
